With the addition of nine genes, the plants were able to produce psilocin and psilocybin, usually found in mushrooms; DMT from various plants; and bufotenin and 5-methoxy-DMT, compounds secreted by the Colorado river toad (Incilius alvarius).

Plants could easily be altered permanently with changes that become inheritable, but doing so could be problematic, given that the compounds produced are commonly used as recreational drugs, says Aharoni. “It’s a little bit tricky if we have it inherited, and then people will ask for seeds,” he says. “We can do it also in tomato, potato, corn.”

I don’t think he knows about Second Disc, PattyMcB

Exactly. And add to that some journalistic solidarity, when the person before you asks a question that gets dodged and then you are called on ASK THE SAME QUESTION and keep doing it until either theres an answer or the admin is forced to end the press conference in shame

Gotta hope I roll better stats next campaign damn

The self-driving cab, however, didn’t get dinged like you or us. Since there was no one operating the vehicle, the cops couldn’t issue a citation. But they did reach out to Waymo’s parent company Google to let them know about the glitch.

“Our citation books don’t have a box for ‘robot,'” the department said.

It frustrates me that Google doesn’t get a citation for this. It’s just another example of how laws don’t apply to the people pulling all the strings. They need to be just as accountable as anyone else, even if it’s robots doing the driving. Whoever is ultimately responsible for the unacceptable behavior needs to be held accountable, or they’ll learn they can keep doing unacceptable shit in new and creative ways without any real legal or financial risk for engaging in the bad behavior. If corporations are people, and corporate robots are doing things people get in trouble with the cops for, corporations need to be in trouble with the cops and the courts and feel the same heat.

Someone’s gotta try the 9th-hole-at-9 gag next. All those golf courses, each one a new opportunity!

That’s the energy I’m talking about

Sure, but still no reason not to put it on display in clear and hamfisted terms if you ask me

This is the time to start invoking all of the gods for a more dynamic and adaptive office environment.

“Listen, Ryan, I’m gonna need you to ask yourself what Enki would do in this situation, ok? You’re giving Enlil when I need an Enki. Dammit, get your head in the game. Have you not been keeping up on this stuff? Seriously, if you’ve been experimenting with that Jesus stuff again I’m gonna come unglued, I swear. Get off the fuckin cross already, jeez.”

In fact, it seems it was all right

Seems to me like flags are usually political and/or ideological in nature… That’s, like, one of the main reasons we use flags at all. The US flag is political, the Idaho flag is political, banners that say “Merry Christmas” are gonna have to be left out of schools, even “Happy Birthday” is going to read like religious favoritism to someone like a Jehovah’s Witness. Especially if the Christofascist snowflakes can’t even be bothered to put up with “Everybody is welcome here”. Why would anyone else feel inclined to put up with their shit?

Elon made the intentional decision to NOT use LIDAR because he’s a cheapskate and unwilling to take input. He is not using an even remotely reasonable approach. He chose not to use a reasonable approach on purpose.

Waymo doesn’t need it, but he does? lol

Florida, Tennessee, and Louisiana are named for working to outlaw chemtrails in the article. Articles like this should be required to list things they have already indicated exist in a small, closed set like this. I want a list of states! Or at least their abbreviations.

“According to the Daily Mail…”

My bs senses are tingling on this one, too. I think I’ll be watching for confirmation from elsewhere before I give this much energy.

Edit: it’s insane that it’s even remotely believable, though. And it is believable. Like, easily believable.

I mean, how could he say no?
